"..and i took that personally" - king leonidas

Wow! Awesome quote from Troy, man. I didn't even think about that!

@@julianfalken8861 I prefer Karl XII :))

The king would be present in the battle area but actually in the fight, not as common as I'd imagine, sure kings would march with their armies as moral support, if the king dies what happens? Moral breaks and the kingly led army falls apart. Not the smartest move to go into the fight to die but Leonidas knew once he was dead in the hands of the Persians, Beheaded, Greece would answer back. So he did have the balls to fight a losing battle, but knew it would not be in vain

Wouldn't that be a sight!

In Georgia, (Country) our kings were leading the war by the sword... Especially the Vakhtan Gorgasali

Fun fact. 2.3% historical accuracy from a game, about a timeline THAT old is way more than any movie managed to make

Still more accurate than Pompeii

Still it is better - Leonidas was in his fifties, and they wore cuirrases :D

@@OkStelios Ok, this is epic.

GAMERS RISE UP!

Spartans are just built different. And in AC universe is cuz he is an isu bloodline. Ezio Auditore was about 57 in revelations and still moved swiftly. That isu blood is no joke

Spartans were trained for battle since they could walk. If a Spartan was born "defective" they'd just kill the boy.

funny thing about the battle, people romanticise it far too much, the olympics were on so only 300 ish spartans could be spared to go fight since nobody wanted to miss it, along with a few thousand other greek soldiers, not to mention xerxes spent his whole life planning this invasion.... not once did he think to improve the weapons and armour of his troops, so the superior spartan equipment cut through their wicker shields like butter

@@vanillaicecream2385 It was around 1300 spartans in history, with greek allies bringing the total number up to around 7000 troops on the greek side at the battle of thermopylae

The world remembers free men fought for themselves!

@@grimmywizard and now we are in lock down has free men. With out even a fight.

@jürgen samoilov. Do your research and you will find the answers. Humans have had much worse diseases then covid and not once ever their have been lock downs to my knowledge and even in war's when bombs were dropping from the sky's. That's my opinion. And you have yours.

You think Spartans weren't tyrannical? Every civilization was but the Spartans were even for their time, still a good thing that they're remembered

People remember propaganda after thousands of years. The Spartans weren't "elite warriors" who were the "best of the best". They were a slavery driven society of aristocratic elites whose only real contribution to warfare was flexible small unit tactics and psychological warfare through propaganda and flashy displays. Their track record during times of war was average, and the battle of Thermopylae was an absolute failure which lead to the sacking and massacre of Athens, there was absolutely no victory here. The hot gates was believed by the coalition (yes, it was a Greek coalition, not just Spartans running around) to be their best hope against a land invasion due to the massive strategic advantage they offered to their ground forces. The high rocky terrain would force Xerxes to launch a frontal assault every time into a tiny (and I mean T I N Y) gap which could very easily be pushed back and stalled as well as reinforced as per need. The fact that the Greek coalition messed up despite such advantages isn't a cause for celebration, it's humiliation. People also forget the smaller states that contributed hundreds of valuable soldiers during the last stand despite suffering greater consequences in recovering their losses later. What I find extremely ironic is the Idea that this was a fight against oppression, when Sparta was replete with slaves and their brutal abuse and murder wasn't just a commonality, it was tradition.

Lord of Dragons Eclipsen no he was not.

We all learnt about this at school.

@@anthonyforney873 How did he want the world to remember him?

Tomorrow, we dine in hell!

@@Povsa_Well In the game he wanted the world to know what he and is 300 soldiers did against the Persian empire while in real life I'm pretty sure he just wanted to fight the Persian force because he didn't want the Persians to control his land which the Persians first needed to conquer past and the only reason the we know about them is because of both the Greeks and Persians remember them in there paintings, books and sculpture and the reason the world knows them is because of there legendary battle at Thermopylae.

When you think about it they have achieved legend status. Their story is remembered in songs and plays (movies and video games) they have truly achieved legend status

@@kingtorrhenstarkstark5311 how about slashing the back of the knee, the nape, upward slash at the armpits, etc.? That's how you use a short sword on a battle with multiple enemies. Especially when you spotted a ranking officer with his back wide open!

It’s the one battle I would love to see play out to settle my curiosity; was it a beach or a cliff? Was the Greek retreat by design or was it disorganized? The exchanging of cloaks between the Thespians and Spartans and watching the Spartan squires/helots fight to the death as well

Damn, that's pretty badass

Its true but they wanted to add a dramatic affect to the battle,

@Virgil Hardjo Hellenic soldiers are elite Persian soldiers. That's what he's referring to.overall there were tens to hundreds of thousands of soldiers

Virgil Hardjo technically it was only 300 of the Spartan Peers who were assigned. But each Spartan Peer had at least two squires to help them in battle in real life. Plus take into account the allies that helped them. In reality it was about 4 thousand Greeks in total that fought at Thermopylae

@nikola poyukov bruh u getting that last part from the movie. How ever I watch a documentary on it and they did fight over his body to preserve it idk how it all went down but the fact that they did that is fucking badass bro whay other king do you know that his soldiers where fighting till the last man just to try and keep their kings body just goes to show how much of true warriors they were. Respect to that regardless of how it went down

giotispaok21 you completely misunderstood my points, Spartans were well trained, they had determination, they were better equips and had superior made weaponries, all of those were indeed important, but the most important part of them holding the line for as long as they did was tactic and strategy, choosing to fight where they did to put the numbers out of the equation, and having a battle formation to completely fill the narrow passage, and switching the front line every few minutes and take turns holding the front with the back rest, if they broke formations like this and went balls deep like here or in the movies, and even charged out of the narrow passageway, they would have been done within hours if not minutes, not days, but alas, neither movie or game makers knows how to show a good strategic battle formation so they just show big bad Spartans spitting up and charging out into the open,

giotispaok21 I know enough to know while guts is important in battle, that alone would not have been enough to turn a tide with that level of numerical disadvantage, the Spartans has much better armor, and much better weapon despite the movie showing them as almost naked in a fight , and even those alone wouldn’t have help if they didn’t force the Persians to fight in a narrow place and had the actual tactic and formation for such a terrain

giotispaok21, there were between 5 thousand to 7 thousand Greeks who held the pass, only 300 of them were Spartans (more or less). And there weren't a million Persians though their numbers were still insanely higher than the Greeks.

Giotispaok21, uhhhh no, there were far more than that. It's estimated that there were 700 thespians, and several hundred Thebians who held the pass on the final day whilst the remainder of some thousands retreated back to their cities, but other than that I don't even think you even know what you're talking about. Ancient sources told me this, by the way.

Within 1 hours

Yeah thats very true

I whipped my head when I saw that. Captain America shit right there

@@nap0038 yes

plus the one handed neck snap on the dude after. Felt like I was watching thanos

I mean, the shield thing was just an excuse for gameplay, as ACO doesnt have shields in their combat

Don't forget the Persians though. The design of those helmets, armors and clothes they're wearing are also historically accurate.

Though the armor gets penetrated like a tin can from obvious far away arrows.

That’s because 300 was a comic book adaptation haha it wasn’t based on actual history

Dylan Fontaine yeah in reality the shitty persian arrows literally bounced off greek bronze armor and shields. Leonidas also didnt live to the end of the battle either

+BandoLando Mhm, and the Persian light infantry's shields were made of wicker, so the spears went straight through. The Persian army was predominantly tuned towards fighting people with arrows like their's, so their shields were extremely light for tribal warfare and that was extremely sucky against Greek hoplites.

300 is made after a comic book by Frank Miller.

True words,friend, i only hope the future generation will respect them too, and never forget our heroes Ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς!!

No just no! Stop comparing epic mythology with cheesy mcu crap.

The same war going on today

This is what the stories want you to believe but the actual history isn't that simple. Sparta at that time was a client state of Persia, Xerxes already ruled over the Greek world. A rebellion broke out on some Greek islands, other Greeks were called upon to put the rebellion down. The various city states debated whether to obey the Persian orders or defy them, Athens defied the commands and set out for the naval battle that was depicted in the 300 sequel (and was quite honestly the far more significant battle of the two, as Thermopylae was more a symbolic resistance than a significant military action). Sparta and Athens were always at odds and fought multiple wars against each other, Sparta siding with Persia. Sparta initially viewed this conflict no different than the others and planned to side with Persia against Athens. Leonidas of course had other ideas. With the full context it's clear this wasn't a simple defiance of shadow rulers or evil manipulators, Sparta was maintaining their long standing traditions and Leonidas defied them. Brave, certainly but if not for the tremendous Athenian victory over Persia (and later Greek victories including Sparta against Persia) then Leonidas wouldn't be lauded a hero, he would have been a villain and traitor.

He stood up after getting stabbed by the sword. Showing an act of defiance and then stabbed Xerxes once with the spear. Leo ideas still stood up longer. Shows what a real Spartan and warrior can do for his people.

MasterMind or the fact that they broke all formation and just went balls deep, that would also have been a suicide attempt

Wrong

I'm pretty sure that phrase was used to Spartans as a sign of dignity, which meant if victorious, come back with your shield, and if you you died, you'll die coming back to Sparta on it. Which didn't actually go with a sign of weakness, it was considered a sign of weakness if you left a battle and let your fellow Spartans to die, one story including that a Spartan once left a battle and when he returned, his family and himself were bullied, eventually leading the Coward to commit suicide.

Dindu' Nuffin I just read about it and forfeiting your shield during battle did show weakness... and not only that Spartans rarely broke formation

Hahaha u crazy

I mean, in 300 (the movie) it was loosely based off of the battle of thermopylae, and pretty heavily based off of the graphic novel of the same name.

but armor seems pretty useless in this video

Rotfl

(awkward silence after that...)

You got that from the film

no shit comrade

Titus Robertson The story is exaggerated but it did happen at least that is the popular belief.

it was actually a long standing spartan tradition that the 2 kings of Sparta would have 300 men in each of their royal bodyguards, When a class of boys "graduated" and became men by the spartan standard the Ephors would select 3 which they believed had excelled beyond their peers, these 3 would then pick 100 men each (although the selection was overseen by the Ephors to ensure the young men were picking men by their merits and not simply 100 of their closest friends) the original 3 would then become officers and the 100 they each selected would become the unit which they would lead. So it wasn't odd that the king took 300 men with him, however anytime the kings ordered their entire royal guard anywhere, it meant they'd be gone longer then a day....just some clarity for that scene....

"With it, or on it." -A Spartan Mother.

I blame the "Assasin" engine. Developers have no idea how to portray fighting with shield in game. For honour, it is not.

This game makes the 300 movie seem accurate, people who study history would love to see how it actually happened(or how it was recorded to happen) and adapted properly. I wonder how many people actually think it was only 300 spartan men that held Hell’s Gate from Persians. People who complain about others wanting accuracy are like the kids who bought and play BF5 after all the shit they said about consumers.

+lil JG Niggas jump off a cliff into and expect to survive when they hit a pile of hay.

Dindu' Nuffin, the phrase is also referencing the fact a Hoplite's shield is typically one of the most cumbersome parts of their equipment, and thus if one was running away from a battle, they'd toss the shield aside so they could actually flee. So if you returned without your shield, it meant you abandoned the battlefield and your fellow soldiers. I believe a spartan king was asked why losing your helm was better then losing your shield, and the reply was "Because the helm only protects yourself, while the shield protects your fellow soldiers."

Because unlike Spartans at some point they surrendered while Spartans didn't and died to the last

It's even weirder when you realize Spartans wore ten layers of leather behind the armor. Their torso was practically unkillable in the front.
